HIstamine receptors Blockers-COMP Flashcards
Histamine is a natural occurring
Does histamine cross the BBB?
Amine
- Does not cross the BBB
Histamine and inflammation
Found where?
Act as a mediator for inflammation in allergic disease
- Found in mast cells of skin. lungs and GIT
H1 receptors does what?
H2 receptors does what?
H1- Smooth muscle contraction in respiratory and GI tract
H2- Increase myocardial contractility and Heart
H3 receptors
cause inhibition, synthesis and release of histamine
Activitiy of H3 receptors may be
Impaired by H2 receptors.
Impairment of H3 receptors by H2 antagonists may result in an
Increase relase of histamine when a drug that cause histamine is given to a patient that was pre-treated with H2 antagonist alone
Histamine profound effect of
CV, airways and gastric H+ ions
Does histamine cross BBB
no
Predominant CV effect of histamine
Dilation of arterioles and capillaries leading to flushing decrease in PVR and Systemic BP and increase capillary permeability
Vascular effects are from direct effect of histamine on
Blood vessels mediated by H1 and H2
H2 receptor are activated at higher histamine concentrations
Slower onset and result in sustained vasodilation
H2 on conduction
Slow conduction of cardiac impulses through the AV node due to activation of H1 receptors
Zantac too quickly
Arrythmias
Positive chronotropic, inotropic effects and cardiac dysrhythmias are due to activation of
H2 receptors in the heart as well as the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla
Histamine in LARGE DOSES stimulates_____and_________ in the adrenal medulla, evoking the release of catecholamines.
ganglion cells and chromaffin cells
Pt with obstructive airway disease such as
Asthma and bronchitis are more likely to develop an increase in airway resistance in response to histamine
For AnTICHOLINERGIC and gastric secretions
high doses to affect GI secretions
Cholinergic blockade
Decrease the gastric secretory response to histamine
Bronchoconstriction is
Not prevented
Clinical use of the drug
Assess ability of gastric pariety cells to secrete H+
to determine parietal cell mass
Histamine with zollinger ellison
Hypersecretion of H+ ions in response to histamine in presence with zollinger ellison syndrome.
Histamine Receptor Antagonists
Class H1 or class H2
Histamine Receptor Antagonists act by
occupying receptors on effector cell membranes.
• For antihistamines this is a competitive and reversible interaction.
• H1 and H2 do not
inhibit the release of histamine.
H1 Receptor antagonist classified as
1st and 2nd generation
At low concentratons H1 antagonist act as
Competitive ANTAGONISTS
Most antihistamines are metabolized by:
hepatic microsomal enzymes.
Anticholinergic effects include;
dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, and impotence may occur.
CNS effects of 1st generation
Sedation
CNS effects of 2nd generation
Non sedation
First generation H1 antagonist may also block
muscarinic cholinergic, 5-hydroxytryptomine (serotonin), or alpha-adrenergic receptors.
Levaquin
Can prolong QT
Short duration of Action
Benadryl
Most potent
Famodidine (Pepcid)
Least potent
(Cimetidine) Tagammet
Histamine and vascular endothelium to
stimulate release nitric oxide, which stimulates guanylate cyclase to increase levels of GMP in vascular smooth muscle, causing vasodilation
The release of prostacyclin from vascular endothelium is mediated by which receptor?
H1 receptors
Histamine activates the enzyme ________which leads to the release of ________
phospholipase; prostacyclin
The histamine-induced effects mediated by H1 receptors are
blocked by H1 receptor blockers.
Vascular effects of histamine are mediated by
H1 and H2 receptors
